[HTC Aria General] woodbane:
A couple things:

Are you starting new service with AT&T, or eligible for an upgrade and thus getting the phone at a discounted/free price OR

Are you paying full no-commitment pricing as you are already AT&T customer?

Either way, you might want to look at http://wireless.amazon.com/HTC-Aria-Android-Phone-AT/dp/B003RCJA6S/ref=sh_br_ph_12?ie=UTF8&transaction=INDIVIDUAL_NEW. Their price is good if you are buying the phone outright, it's where I purchased mine. You can also start new service or do upgrades via them as well I think. Their return policy is also sweet, you get up to 30 days to return the phone in case your girlfriend doesn't like it.

Mine came with Android 2.1 OS and I had it rooted and a custom ROM loaded on within an hour of opening the box! :D
[HTC Aria General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Mine was purchased through the online store and it had 2.1 on it. So the chances are quite good you'll be able to root.
[HTC Aria General] robohh:
This is what I did and the phone came with 2.1. that was 6 weeks ago. Rooted and rommed...
[HTC Aria General] gfinockio:
So wait - if the phone has been updated to 2.2, it can NEVER be rooted and modded, like EVER?

That may change my eBay buying habits for this phone...
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
Its possible it may never happen. It all depends on whether someone figures out how to crack the newer hboot.
[HTC Aria General] gfinockio:
Oooh. That's scary.
[HTC Aria General] cHarley04:
You might try HERE. They are listed as having the 2.1 OS.
[HTC Aria General] gfinockio:
I need it unlocked to use up here in Canada - hence my worry about it coming with 2.2 on it. I'm just going to try to communicate with the eBay sellers and hope they know what they are talking about.
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
Unlocking a phone for use on other carriers is completely separate from rooting and installing custom ROMs. You can unlock a phone that has AT&T official 2.2 update on it.
[HTC Aria General] gfinockio:
Yeah, but wouldn't I be stuck with a bunch of AT&T apps I could never use in Canada?
[HTC Aria General] NinetyWt:
Thank you so much for this link! I've been looking at the Aria as my first Android phone, but AT&T only offers a refurbished one as an upgrade. I could get the refurb Aria for $0 or an Inspire for $99 through AT&T. Like the OP's girlfriend, I don't like the size of the Inspire. Also looked at the Captivate, but it seems big too.

At Amazon, I got a new Aria for $50. They added the extra data plan at checkout. Should get it Tuesday. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutzm05:
Hello guys,

My dad has just bought a Google Nexus One. He had some HTC phones before and he really likes HTC Sense because it is very clean and simple. He likes the widgets (like HTC Weather, HTC Mail, HTC widget for news, etc.). I checked out the development section here on XDA but now i'm very confused. I would like you to tell me which is the best, stable and with good battery life, Sense ROM for Nexus One.

Thank you very much.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespwolpert:
evil's NXsense ROM is pretty sweet.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=791151

It's a really stable port from the desire HD with all the latest bells and whistles (i.e, flipping clock, themes and whatnot) steps to instal are as follows:

1.) use AmonRa recovery to repartition to 1Gb SD-EXT/0 SWAP

2.)Wipe

3.) Flash the ROM! :D

4.) Reboot. (takes some time on first boot. be patient)

Any questions, pm me. installed this thing like a million times.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespwolpert:
It's not really fit for mortals' daily use yet, but there is a ROM from the Desire S being worked on right now (as in, gingerbread-sense, tchyeah!)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesarydolores:
best sense rom

evil's 1.26 rom is the best by far. solid, best battery life ...even has some themes you can add.. good luck.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
My grandad once had an abacus that he swore by. It was painful to watch as it took a whole day for him to work out his finances on it. He didn't want to use the calculator that i bought for him at first, but after a while he readily agreed that what he was used to wasn't necessarily the best thing!

Allegorical tales are the best ;)

To put it another way, flashing a Sense ROM to a Nexus One is like drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutzm05:
Thanks, i will try it.

Not stable. :(

Yes, i also think this is the best rom. Will try this and Desire HD Port. Thanks.

:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Allegories are nice, but there is absolutely nothing that stock Nexus ROM does, even in Gingerbread, that old Desire Froyo didn't do a lot better - and most important (for my wife who receives my Nexus soon) - better looking and easier to understand.

For anyone who's not into tinkering with his gadgets - I'd suggest any Sense ROM over any stock ROM. Nexus isn't different.

To the OP: If WiFi hotspot is necessary - DesireHD ports don't have it, so you're set with Desire port. Otherwise they both work quite well. The only major worthy difference I saw would be the browser - pinch-to-zoom would go out into window mode on Sense 2.0, allowing to choose between open browser windows. Nice feature.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionutzm05:
WiFi hotspot is not necessary. I think i will go for Desire port. Maybe i will also try the Desire HD port.

LATER EDIT:

THIS EXPERIENCE WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE. I have followed a tutorial from theunlockr to Root the phone and install Amun Ra Recovery. Everything worked perfectly. After flashing the Desire Port ROM on the Nexus One and rebooted, the phone didn't passed the screen with a lock and the X from nexus logo (boot-loop). I found a ROM on the internet and flashed that (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614427) . Now my phone is working, got some com.android.phone force-closing but now it looks ok. I'm really scared to try it again. What have i done wrong? *sorry for my bad english :(*
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
you can always just put the wireless tether app on top of SenseHD if you want a hotspot, don't have to use built-in.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehel.babos:
Don't be scared... you gotta *rreeallllyy* **** something up to truly brick your phone. As long as you can get to the bootup screen you can generally bring it back. Some ROMS are more stable than others, but they are (usually though not always) older as a result, because they've been tried and tested. Things like the Cyanogen Mod Nightlies are awesome and cutting edge, but not for the average consumer. I've personally don't like how the Sense launcher responds, so I never stuck with any HTC ROMS, but when I was testing it out I had some really good luck with the MoDaCo roms. You can get the prebaked roms on the site or if you pay for membership you get access to the online kitchen as well (where you can customize the rom before downloading it). Give the MoDaCo port a shot if the phone keeps crashing, and if **** goes down.... recovery image ftw!

is there any Sense ROM which doesnt require creating a partition on the SD Card? As in install in the same manner in which I install CM7 or Blandroid. I dont like the idea of having things installed over the SD card.

I have looked and not come across anything so If I've missed something, please point me in the right direction.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ypsmav:
Hi guys,

Moving from WM to android is creating me more problems than expected :mad:

Apologies if I make a few noob questions.

I got a Galaxy tab, and everything works fine expect the email apk which is not able to show the folders of my corporate email account. I've seen that this problem affect other people/devices, but couldn't find a working solution.

Funny enough, I got my old Blackstone running XDAndroid working fine with the same exchange account and showing all my email folders and sub folders.

I've seen the $20 touchdown, but I'd prefer a native solution, so my questions are:

- Understand that after rooting I'll be able to replace the Samsung mail apk. What would be the procedure?

- I would like try the email apk from the XDAndroid. do you see any limitation for this apk to work on the tab.

- is it possible to get the HTC mail apk (sense) working in the Tab? does someone have a working apk?

- Any other solution to show the exchange email folders into our Tab?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elvitas:
Funny, i had same idea with HTC Mail.apk but found nothing on web.

So anybody want to port HTC Mail to Galaxy Tab?

~ from Tab using XDA App. ~
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoMarK:
HTC's email.apk needs sense, and would be nearly impossible to port it without using a sense rom as a base.

Exchange(2007 SP2) and subfolders works great though on my tab.

Also i've noticed that there are some differences between my stock rom and overcome, so you could try that.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ypsmav:
hi YoMark,

Can you pls let me know which Email version are you running? (just go to aplication/manage applications/all/Email.

Mine is version 2.2 and it is not showing the exchange folders/subfolders (exchange 2007)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmigao:
I also have the email 2.2 apk and while mails and folders load fine, it takes ages (1 min at least) on startup and any switch and email apk is prone to force close (especially when switching between mails or switching to another app)

I reported this months ago, but no solution has been found yet... Only thing I hate about the tab, as I have 0 productivity with Emails
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zentex:
I am in the same boat, it's not showing any folders (Exch 2003). Anyone found a fix for this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljohnson1981:
Its been awhile since I have seen anything new I can only assume that they are working on other devices. I would love to see a new ROM for any of these.

Or you guys could just answer the poor blokes question instead of doing the mods job. Plus this question is asking about the DEVELOPMENT of ROMS. Sounds like the right section to me don't ya think?

Im really not sure why it has been a while since they have had anything new come out, something I have noticed is that unless there is something really worth while they wont update their roms, why fix something that isn't broken?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheesyNutz:
No its not it belongs in the Q&A or general section
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nnyan:
I agree that people need to be a bit more user friendly around here, no need to get snarky. BUT this is a DEV only section and this type of question (even if it is about DEV work really doesn't belong here).

There is nothing wrong with ONE person trying to help the person but instructing them that this is not the right place for their post. That is not playing the role of a MOD, that is part of being in a community. If this type of thing wasn't a problem the MODS would not have made the 10 post requirement before you can even post here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
Honestly there hasn't been any new developments. In my mind as it stands EVO's are done. Unless Sprint/HTC release something new there is nothing left to develop. The ROMS are zipaligned, PNG Optimized, Battery scripted, etc. I have some work I could do one the graphics but ROM wise I don't see anything earth shattering on the horizon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
Damage Control i believe is dead for now (i haven't seen anything on another phone)

Fresh i believe flipz has just been busy and really his rom is working and works well and there havent been any major ground breaking updates that need to be addressed. since fresh is a non themed rom it is a little harder to constantly provide updates when there isnt much to change in the build itself.

Evio - see fresh for most of it.

A lot of the sense based roms that are updated constantly are themed roms which gives them a lot more to play with. they can tweak the look etc even when there arent any major new developmental releases. I am in no way saying this is all that is done and there is nothing wrong with it being done just explaining my belief on why some roms are updated much more often then others. With the Evo fast approaching the one year mark you will probably see much fewer major updates coming and much fewer major developments.

This is my personal opinion and is not fact. I base my opinions off what i have seen on the devs twitter streams and own sites. hopefully it provides more answers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
When all things sense die, you can always switch to aosp lol. Its updated with the latest and greatest. I prefer sense my self but as zone said; most sense roms are maxed out, there's nothing left to do to them.

As soon as the System Dump/ROM leaks out for the Evo 3D, they will have something new to play with. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rattor:
I never understood why people keep asking for updates to stable ROMs that are based on Sprint OTA releases, like Fresh and Myn's Twopointwo. I read both of those threads, and every couple pages, you get people asking about new versions or updates to complete, working, stable ROMs. What do people expect?

If you want new features like Sense 2.0 or Gingerbread, don't flash a ROM that is based on OTA updates.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgemaster191:
i agree, i think the sense roms are at a standstill until an official 2.3/sense 2.0 build comes down the pipe from HTC/Sprint. (assuming the Evo gets sense 2.0/android 2.3)

i love calk's work, EViO is a great rom. i only switched because i fell in love with CM7 :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daemonopus:
I Don't know... so far a lot of the [ROMS] that I've seen are just re-skinned versions of everything else out there, shouldn't most of those go in the Themes and Apps section as well, if we are going to try and get technical ?

I wouldn't technically call half of these ROMS true "Development" but merely Themes, which there is another section for as well. But if you want to get technical:

Don't forget Vaelpak

If like myself, one were to prefer some of the Sense elements over the AOSP versions, but also like the obvious increase in performance that comes from the AOSP's lighter weight, don't forget the latest Vaelpak.

Sense ROM-based, but with most of Sense removed. I get my preferred Sense Dialer, VVM, etc, and thanks to Fancy Widget I get a Sense-like clock with more and better functionality. 4G, HDMI, everything works.

There is no perfect ROM, of course it all comes down to preference and opinion anyway. But if anyone is looking for something unique and extremely functional, this is a very interesting option. I flashed his 3.2 about a week ago just to check it out and have not had a reason to leave it...except to flash to the GB ROMs of course!

I think we are getting kind of spoiled too. my friend rooted his captivate and only has about 3 decent ROMS to choose from, and we EVO users have about 15 more than solid sense roms and a growing amount of great gingerbread.

If you look at some of ROMS, their thread rating is a lot lower than it should be. If I were a dev and spent that much time and effort for free, and got a 3 out of 5, I certainly would get a little pissed.

regularly use a sense ROM that was released early Jan., and it is still more stable and reliable than a lot of new ones, so there is really no need to update it until something major comes out.

There is always the kitchen if you get too bored, than you will have no one to complain to about bugs and this doesn't work, but yourself... That's where I'm trying to head
